Poppies, daisies, Begonia
Wonderful, beautiful winter flowers
Were sent in the thousands
Gold, diamonds, rubies and silk
Were sent into my chambers,
Day after day
I rejected all these riches.
I shun all the pale and copper-skinned suitors
You gave me a single wilting rose.
I accepted it immediately.
Why did I accept that single;
That single pathetic, sad-looking rose?
The answer was clear.
You treasured me, respected me.
You cherished me as a part of yourself.
An equal.
Not looking at me as a prize,
Like the others.
It made you,
The winner of my heart.
The wilted rose, has full of life,
In my eyes at least.
Just like what awaits before us.
